ANAcRE0NTlc.

Friend of my soul! this goblet sip,
Twill chase that pensive tear;
IT'S not so sweet as woman's lip;
But, Oh! tits more sincere.
Like her delusive beam,
Twill steal away thy mind;
But, like affections dream,
1t leaves no sting behind!
Come. twine the wreath thy brows to
shade;
These flowers were culled at noon !;
Like woman's love the rose will fade,
But, ah /! not half so sooni
For though the flowers decayed,
Its fragrance is not DER;
But once when loves betrayed,
The heart can bloom no more.

IicGlynn's Close Friend.

New YORK, August 3.-Thc action OF
Rev. DR.. Curran in presiding over the
meeting of the guests at the picnic ci the
Eighteenth Assembly District United Labor
party last night, seated beside DR.. Alct'lynn.
thus plainly and publicly putting h.lnsci!
on the Henry George platform, is likely to
give him the prominence he sccis-t'iat ot
being martyr with his friend DR.. Nc
Glynn. There Can no longer be any doubt
that this priest is determined to defy the
Archbishop and follow lis Old leader. He
was removed from his place as assistant
pastor at St Stephens Church because OF
his friendship for the cxcommunicated
priest. This not quelling his rcbcilious
spirit, he was sent to the uobOkcn n:onas.
terry for ten days to DO penancc. He went
and came back unchanged. Then he was
sent to a country parish, but last night he
bobbcd up again, as determined rs ever 10
pursue the course that he has marked out
for himself. The result of his persistcncy
was clearly pointed out to him, and he
knows the punishment that will follow bis
continued disobedicnce. The next step to
be taken is to suspend DR.. Curran rs DR..
McGlynn was suspended. It is said chat
the Archbishop can consistently do nothing
else.

MIR. RnndaIPs Great Day.

PITTsBURG, August 3.-To-day was 4
red-lettcr day in the history of the Randall
Club Of Pittsburg and the Democracy OF
Allegheny county. The fetc champclre ut
Silver Lake Grove was without doubt the
finest affair OF the kind ever given 10y atj

man Dallas Sanders and Chief Pension
Clerk Murphy, arrived i'll carriages drawn
by four white,plumcd horses md escorted:
by the Randall Club and the Cathedral
Band.
They were escorted, shaking hands as
they went, 20 the platform of The grand
pavilion. The crowd followed and c;;ic:i
for an address, but in this they were disa?-
pointed, as the committee had decided that
it was to be a strictly social affair, and 20
specch-making would be indGlgcd in. The
guests, however, held 3 sort 81 informal
lcvcc on the platform, receiving aud shaking
hands with the crowd, which pressed about
them eager for that honor. At five O'Clock
the entire party was grouped on the pla.
form and photographed, after which they
sat down to a magnificent rcp"st.
In the evening the time was spent ii
dancing. Mr. Randall, with -'lrs. Annie
Foley, of this city, led tic graad march,
in which there were lG5 couples. Lntcr
he danced quadrillc, having tie sanlc
lady for partner He stated thai nc had
not danced for twenty-five years, but he
had no trouble in getting through tic fig,
ures of the dance The balance OF tie
evening was devoted 10 social intercourse
entirely, and after fine display Of fire
F5works the party returned to the city.
Letters Of regret were read from Prcs-'

mated against Victor Emmanuel. In this
anathema "cursing" and ''damning are
heaped up in wild confusion. When this

About q Lucky Star.

The Brandenburg Lucky Star" so
called because it appeared the night in
which Elcctor Johann Sigismund OF
Brandenburg was born, is, by German
astronomers, expected TO make It's ap-
pearance again within the next four
years. In 945, during the reign of EN-
peror Otho !, say the German papers, q
new and brilliant fixed star was seen in
the constellation Cassicpeia, which has
the shape of W In 1864 a similar
star was seen IN the same place; and
again on November II, 1912, when Ty
cho Brahe noticed a brilliant star OF un
usual magnitude in spot where he had
only seen small ones until then. 1t had
no tail, nor was it surrounded By a haze,
that might leave observers to take 1t for
a comet: it resembled, on the contrary,
the other fixed stars, and shed more
brilliant light than the stars Of the first
magnitude, excelling in this respect Sir
Jus, Jupiter and Vega. 1t could only be
compared to Venus, and was visible also
in the daytime, even at noon. At night
with covered sky, while all the other
stars are invisible, it was repeatedly dis
tinguishable throughethe clouds. Tycho
was convinced of its complete immova-
bility, It. light began to fade in No
vcmbcr, 1872, and after having shone
for nearly seventeen months it disap-
peared entirely in 1914. In vain the as
tronomers have looked for it IN its won't
ed place since; but now, after the usual
period of 800 years; It is expected to
show itself aln.
